Whether we like it or not, money plays a large role in our life. It can decide where you live, what you eat, and what you do. I think that before someone can learn to make “enough” or save “enough” money, they need to learn the purpose of it in their life.
Maybe you’ve heard the saying “money isn’t everything unless you don’t have any of it.” This is something that I have found to be true. You see we live in a world where our economy essentially depends on us spending money. Every time we spend money, someone else makes it. This provides jobs and life for people all around the world. Because spending money is so important for our economy, we care constantly bombarded with messages saying “you won’t be happy unless you can buy this”. No matter the mile-stone, you will never make enough money for society.
You see, money is important, but it’s not the MOST important. Things like your faith, family, and friends take the throne in comparison to money.
So what’s my point?
If you didn’t have enough money make buy groceries would you work overtime? Or catch up with a loved on?
I would hope that as a responsible adult you would do what needs to be done to make sure there is a roof over your head and food in your belly.
But wait…didn’t we both just agree that family is more important than money?
Yes, if you don’t have enough money to take care of your needs, then you will never be able to put other things first.
I think everyone needs to have a healthy relationship with money. Everyone should learn about how they can leverage their money so they can not be stressed, contribute to society, and help others in need. We live in a culture that is very embarrassed or shy when it comes to money. I am not advocating that people should be TOO open about their finances but it wouldn’t hurt to have a healthy relationship with it.
I think that money is a vehicle to help us get what we want. I love my family more than anything in this entire world. My goal is to earn, save, and invest enough money so I can provide for family and have one of the greatest gifts of life: freedom. I want to be able to wake up one morning and travel somewhere with my loved ones. I want to sleep well at night knowing I can retire one day and relax. After all, isn’t that the American dream so many people come to this country to pursue?
I hope this blog can act as a road map for anyone looking to have a healthy relationship with their money. I hope that my advice can help you stop working for money, and get your money working for YOU.
